In the following steps, you will use a metal spudger to lift the front panel out from the rear case of your TouchPad.

The front panel is held in by seven clips (boxed in red) that are lightly anchored to the rear case. When you remove the front panel assembly, you are bound to break either the clips or their supports attached to the rear case. We will update this guide as we find replacement parts or a better method to remove the panel.

As you remove the front panel assembly, also be careful not to damage the ambient light sensor (boxed in yellow) or the two antennas (boxed in orange).

I wasn’t happy with using a metal spudger as it felt a bit forceful, as I have a bulk pack of opening tools I tried using them instead.

I may have been lucky, but by using those tools instead with the angled lip facing inwards at points adjacent to where the mounting clips are located according to the above image (like this, https://i.imgur.com/dylp6BG.jpg ), I managed to open the unit without breaking a clip or scratching the plastic back panel by bending the outside of the panel enough to pop the lcd panel.

Insert a flat metal spudger in the gap between the rubber outer ring on the front panel assembly and the black plastic rear case near the USB connector.

Pry the front panel assembly up from the rear case, being careful not to damage the LCD or the glass panel.

As you work through the following steps, insert your metal spudger and pry the front panel up, but do not try to slide the spudger along the gap you're creating. Always remove your spudger, then insert it at another spot and pry upward.

Its just a reminder when you're repairing your touchpad back to the way it was ( reversing the steps) It might be difficult to place your microphone ribbon back into its socket. Would advise to use some sort of device ( like tweezers) to help place it back inside its socket. Just be gentle.

Great Photos! My battery is completely dead, so now I'm going to order a new one. Would love to find a writeup on hoiw to shock this old battery back to life while out of the computer. Any suggestions?

Replaced the battery, and still not powering up. Is there some sort of step missing to activate the battery? I have two devices which has the same issue, and can't power them up again after replacing the battery which is fully charged.
